D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) Stock Forecast 2026, 2027 & 2030
Forecasting D-Wave Quantum is less about crystal balls and more about reading what the tape is actually doing right now. As it stands, QBTS is showing a defensive / bearish structure, and momentum reads as soft and under pressure. Equity moves are slower and news-driven, so the ranges below are scenarios, not guarantees.
Where QBTS trades today
Reading the chart, sellers are setting the tone. The 14-day RSI sits near 42, which is squarely neutral, leaving room to travel either way. Price is trading below its 50-day average and below the longer 200-day line — a headwind that bulls need to clear. None of this predicts the future on its own, but together it frames the odds.
On the downside, roughly the $16.02 area has been acting as recent support; overhead, $22.00 is the zone bulls need to reclaim to open more upside.
D-Wave Quantum stock forecast: 2026, 2027 & 2030
Our scenario ranges are built, not guessed. We take D-Wave Quantum's current price, apply a conservative base-case annual drift, then flex it up for the bull case and down for the bear case. The width of each range is scaled from QBTS's own measured volatility, so a more volatile asset gets wider bands. It is a transparent model — and like every model, it can be wrong.
| Year | Bearish case | Base case | Bullish case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | $10.07 – $22.80 | $10.89 – $24.65 | $11.16 – $25.26 |
| 2027 | $6.38 – $21.98 | $8.27 – $28.50 | $8.98 – $30.94 |
| 2030 | $3.39 – $11.68 | $9.58 – $32.99 | $13.31 – $45.84 |
Model assumptions: base case ≈ 5%/yr, bull case ≈ 14%/yr, bear case ≈ -19%/yr, tilted by the current trend. Ranges widen with time because uncertainty compounds — the spread on each cell is scaled from D-Wave Quantum's measured volatility (~141% annualised) over the square root of the horizon. These are scenarios, not price targets, and do not model dividends, splits or one-off events.
What moves D-Wave Quantum stock
Earnings & guidance
Over any real horizon, D-Wave Quantum's share price tracks its ability to grow revenue and profit. Quarterly results and forward guidance are the single biggest swing factor.
Interest rates & valuation
Higher rates compress the multiple investors will pay for future earnings. QBTS's valuation is sensitive to where rates and the broader market are heading.
Sector & competition
D-Wave Quantum does not trade in a vacuum. Sector rotation, competitive pressure and market share shifts all feed into how the stock is priced.
Sentiment & positioning
Analyst ratings, index inclusion, buybacks and how crowded the trade already is can amplify moves in either direction over the short term.
Macro & risk appetite
Recessions, credit conditions and overall risk appetite set the tide. Even a great business can see its stock fall when the broad market de-risks.
On balance, D-Wave Quantum is on the back foot, and patient buyers usually wait for a base to form rather than catch the falling knife.
D-Wave Quantum stock forecast — FAQ
Can D-Wave Quantum realistically reach these prices?
The ranges are scenarios generated from QBTS's current trend and volatility, not promises. The base case assumes conditions roughly continue; the bull and bear cases show what materially better or worse conditions could look like. Reality often lands outside model ranges, so treat them as a framework for thinking, not a target to bank on.
Is D-Wave Quantum a good buy right now?
That depends entirely on your own goals, time horizon and risk tolerance — which is something only you (or a licensed advisor) can judge. What we can say is that QBTS currently shows a defensive / bearish structure with momentum that reads as soft and under pressure. Use that as one input among many, never as a signal to act.
What could push QBTS higher?
Beating earnings expectations, falling interest rates, market-share gains and improving risk appetite are the kinds of tailwinds that tend to support the bull case. None are guaranteed.
What are the biggest risks?
Weak earnings, higher-for-longer rates, competitive pressure and a broad market sell-off could all drive QBTS toward — or below — the bear case. Volatility of roughly 141% a year means large swings in either direction are normal.
What is the D-Wave Quantum price prediction for 2026 and 2030?
Under our base-case model, QBTS maps to roughly $10.89–$24.65 through 2026 and a much wider $9.58–$32.99 by 2030 as uncertainty compounds. The bear and bull scenarios on this page show the plausible extremes around those midpoints.
